Residency artists and researchers Music Tua Sofia Hakanpää Singer-songwriter, vocal pedagogue During my stay at the Residence, I plan on finishing a long-time project of mine, a manual on voice control. In addition, I will be spending my time composing songs for the fairytale poem Alva ja Kettu. Through this particular project, I will be contemplating free vocal improvisation in children as well as ways in which to encourage a versatile use of voice already in early childhood so that it would remain a natural part of selfhood when transitioning into the school environment and from there on into adulthood.
